Hi,

I just bought Dumont titanium tweezers. I'm wondering since titanium is non-magnetic if airport security could catch me with those... :-k

By the way those Dumont titanium tweezers are so light, a real charm to work with! And the titanium gives a cool soft silken "touch". Honestly I'm not kidding.

They might not catch them with the sensor if they're in your pocket, but they will on a pat-down. And if you want to make airport security really unhappy, let them find a sharp titanium tool on you ;) Oh, and it will show up on x-ray in your bags, too!
